Our friend, Varian Fry,(The Flight Portfolio) mentioned in relation to Arendt‘s ability to leave Europe for the USA. Life‘s intersections at work.

“…the propaganda effect of infallibility: the trick of appearing omnipotent by prophesying a future that you then make happen.”

Eichmann sounds a lit like somebody else in today‘s news, doesn‘t he? I mean, like a lot of somebodys, really.

Cuilin I thought that too. And history repeats itself. 7d
Tamra There is so much history on repeat. 7d
Larkken This articulates my feelings about sooo many people that have sat next to me and used me as a set piece to pontificate to lately! I think theres an epidemic of them 😝 7d
kspenmoll Yes, so much is repeating itself right now- it‘s a challenge to not be afraid of our future. 6d

I am taking it slow reading this book. How are others doing? This particular passage spoke to me quite loudly. #adventuresinphilosophy #resistance #HannahArendt

Cuilin I read some before the holidays but had to return it to the library. I may borrow it again. 3w
GingerAntics I haven‘t been able yup get my hands on a copy of this yet. Hopefully in the next few weeks. 🤞🏻 3w
Suet624 I have to say I read at least a 1/4 of the book and then decided it wasn't what I was looking for. It was more about her life and what I was looking for was books she had written. So I'm trying to find some at libraries before I pursue online. My book budget has gone completely off the rails. 2w
kspenmoll @Suet624 Thanks for your input!!! I have not gotten very far… Does your library have 2w
Suet624 I just put a hold on The Origins of Totalitarianism. 2w

Pickpick

As you can see, plenty of insightful observations & wisdom offered here on behalf of Arendt. Highly relevant today, though I‘d be hard pressed to believe there would ever be a time when it isn‘t.

Freedom is in plurality. However, it requires relinquishing a degree of sovereignty. (Cliche freedom isn‘t free.)

I had to laugh when Stonebridge points out shouting “stupid” into the void of social media is not effective resistance. 😆

Tamra @kspenmoll thank you for bringing this book to my attention! 😄 3w
TheBookHippie I highly recommend reading her work this is timely… 3w
Tamra @TheBookHippie it‘s on my TBR! 😃 Next time I see it in a shop I‘ll pick it up. 3w
kspenmoll I plan to start January 2 & just have everyone post thoughts, etc. you are welcome @Tamra ! I cannot wait to dig in! 3w

Planning to start this in January.Maybe a chapter per week? Does that sound doable? Rather than generating questions which is not a talent of mine,I thought anyone can post questions ideas,quotes,etcI am sure there will be much to question & research about Arendt‘ philosophy,her times, connections to our time.Thoughts? I know a few of you have started this month. Please keep posting! #adventuresinphilosophy #resistence #HannahArendt

Tamra Thank you for tagging me! I am about 3/4 in so I‘ll likely finish before January. But I‘ll be curious to read everyone‘s thoughts! 😄 1mo
kspenmoll @Tamra I saw your posts! When I get there, will respond! 1mo
